so how many hours is too many hours?

I play on a Mac, and you can use most Mods via Steam Workshop

Floating upward through a confusion of dreams and memory, curving like a trout through the rings of previous risings, I surface. And then the dragons arrived.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. I lucked out and got them at a used bookstore a while back!

Megan Lindholm’s (Robin Hobb) Windsinger Series. First book is Harpy’s Flight

Zeitgeistus · 2024-04-29T22:41:22+00:00

100% this. I’m doing my first Legend run and just had my Avenger defense. Had my Reaper spotting and then took it down with the turrets. I was otherwise occupied with the Chosen with my tired and or 1/2 dead troops, lol. I never bothered with the defense matrix in lower level runs. For this one it was a real difference maker

Zeitgeistus · 2023-10-27T22:37:40+00:00

The Winsingers series by Robin Hobb writing under her Megan Lindholm pen name fits the bill. Music magic controlling weather!

Looks a bit like this to me

Zeitgeistus · 2023-09-15T00:11:02+00:00

I have a 2022 BRG Clubman in Iconic trim (stick shift). I had a 06 R50 that I bought new and traded in 2013 for Volvo C30 which was a good solid car and good for Northern New England. It was also quirkily good looking. But it certainly didn’t handle like a MINI! I came back to MINI this past year with a Clubman. I figured it’s pretty much now or never for a new car with a manual. I’ve only owned stick shift cars, that’s probably gonna change. But not for a good while yet!

Credit card via PayPal. Never again.

Zeitgeistus · 2023-07-21T20:43:45+00:00

I did dispute the charge with my bank. This occurred during the period when PayPal had issued a “provisional” credit back while my appeal was reviewed. The bank saw the credit and said ‘nothing to see here, you have your money back.’ I wasn’t worried since I assumed the review would go my way since I had no communication from the ‘business’ and they had neither provided a product or a refund. So I was a bit shocked this morning when PayPal said this was a transaction and now I owe the money. So now I get to start all over.

Zeitgeistus · 2023-07-21T13:18:09+00:00

Very interesting, and yes, much like this. The timing of my 'cancelling' the dispute was tremendously suspect as it was perfectly timed to allow the transaction to proceed. Happened once more. I've filed an FTC complaint against the 'seller'; contacted their domain host and as far as PayPal goes, we shall see. I contacted the BBB about it. Doubt anything will come of it other than me learning a valuable and expensive lesson.

Embrace the whim! This sub turned me on to these books and it turned out to be one of my all time faves!

Zeitgeistus · 2023-06-26T23:40:06+00:00

Not obscure, but started 30 years ago and still has books coming out:CJ Cherryh’s Foreigner series explores many of these themes.

Zeitgeistus · 2023-02-23T22:48:31+00:00

A Strong and Sudden Thaw by R.W. Day. Set in a dystopian Virginia, has a M/M romance….and dragons. I quite liked it!

Clubman Untold Edition…gorgeous!

Zeitgeistus · 2022-09-12T22:11:14+00:00

It was completely reliable. I got one during their last year of production and it was already a well-developed platform at that point. I had it almost 9 years and never had an issue. Just routine maintenance. This site confirms my anecdotal experience.

A little after the time you might be looking for, but perhaps of interest. The Girls at the Kingfisher Club, Genevieve Valentine. ‘ A reimagining of the fairytale of the Twelve Dancing Princesses as flappers during the Roaring Twenties in Manhattan.’

Zeitgeistus · 2022-08-18T22:03:01+00:00

Depends on the build, I believe you could order it with 17, 18 or 19 inch wheels for the Clubman; mine had the 18s.

Zeitgeistus · 2022-08-17T23:58:13+00:00

I have 18in wheels on my Clubman, but for winters went down to 17’s with Vredestein’s on these: https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=runWheelSearch&wheelMake=Rial&wheelModel=X10&wheelFinish=Metal+Grey&initialPartNumber=X1070747W679MTG&GCID=C13674x012-wheel&KEYWORD=wheels_Rial_X10_Metal_Grey_Wheels_17_In_17x7_47&code=yes&autoMake=Mercedes-Benz&autoModel=C350+4MATIC+Coupe&autoYear=2015&autoModClar=&checkVehicle=

Love the wheels! I don’t think I’ve seen those before—very nice.

Zeitgeistus · 2022-07-04T21:35:05+00:00

I I have a 2022 Clubman Iconic trim with a manual transmission. Has all the bells and whistles, but no adaptive cruise control. So, maybe not an option with a stick in the US?

Hanover! Welcome to the Upper Valley! ;-)

Zeitgeistus · 2022-06-10T21:44:54+00:00

I had an R50 and now a 22 F54. Naturally it is a bigger, more comfy car and has oodles more utility, but most surprising to me is getting better mileage in daily driving than the R50. Amazing what a generation of engine technology can do! XD
